We’re SIDEKICK, a venture studio built to move with founders – stride for stride. With capital, strategy and creative firepower, we help founders build better, faster and stronger.
The SIDEKICK Orbit represents our commitment to growing, developing and improving Gloucestershire’s cyber community, as well as creating deeper impact in education, apprenticeships and the wider economy.
We’ve already made a start with our active support for CyNam’s Tech Week, hosting events that sparked important conversations and highlighted the vital need for venture studio involvement in the cyber community.
In our Orbit, we plan to work alongside academic institutions including the University of Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire College and schools across the county to drive inclusive access to entrepreneurship and tech careers.
Working alongside partners like CyNam and CHELTM.TECH, we’re helping to engage businesses and students alike to identify talent and amplify the county’s cyber voice.
We’re also helping to fly the flag, collaborating with Gloucestershire County Council on a variety of trade missions and events to improve inward investment into the county.
Investing in early-stage startups is a high-risk game. Most VCs and angels know the numbers: three out of four venture-backed startups never return capital. Yet the traditional model persists –
Whether you’re a startup founder needing a SIDEKICK or an investor looking to help build the future, we should talk.
